Interesting how these people who are so into "morality" and religion are all about sex. What about the other commandments? Do we see those people in church all day on Sunday? No. Do they say, 'Oh dearie me!' when they are cut off in traffic? Do they never ever lie? Do they never, ever follow celebrities, practice astrology, engage in superstition? Do they never envy the guy next door who has a new car? Funny how all those commandments go by the wayside, but when it comes to sex, they're all about it.
If she doesn't want help, leave her alone. She might like the oleanders. Leave her alone. Stop meddling. Let the meddlers meddle. Besides, one thing about old people is they pass away eventually. Just be grateful it isn't a house full of screaming children with yuppie parents. I'll take junker cars and sofas any day over noise and entitlement.
I was all goofy about meeting people online and then I realized that millions of people do it. I met a guy online. It did not pan out. I ran into him at a party later - I recognized his photo. I quietly went up to him and said, "We corresponded on match.com". He dragged me over to the hostess (who is a sucessful executive) and announced that we'd met on match.com. She smiled and said, "That's how I met *my* boyfriend!" Then she asked how long we'd been dating. I laughed and said, "Um, well, we never did go on a date." So, in my opinion, I met the guy at the party. Having seen his photo online and exchanging email just gave us an opening to talk to each other face-to-face.
Its just another way to meet someone. Its really no big deal anymore, especially for someone in their early 30s. Just tell them how you met. I would bet that a lot of your single friends would see how happy you are and would sign up in hopes they could meet someone really nice, too.
Thanks to the reviewer for bringing this to my attention. I have a new TV getting delivered today and look forward to feasting on these episodes as soon as I can get my hands on them. Love love love French, Saunders and Lumley - especially French. YAY!
Totally kicks ass. I forwarded to three of the most prolific mail forwarders I know.
I've been disgusted with the media's sexism in their criticism of Clinton. They don't talk about her policies or anything she's done - its all "schoolmarm" and "feminine" and her age and her "cankles" and her face and her husband and on and on. Privately, I get to read/hear men refer to her as a cunt and a bitch. I am so so tired of it. The only good thing about it is that I now know who the woman hating pigs in my social circle are and spend less time with them. Men I know who criticize her policies - no problem, but I hear "cunt" and I want to reach for my taser.
But that is SO cool.
When I turn it on , the engine goes on. Once I am on the road, it makes noise. It only goes into quiet mode if I am coasting down or in a parking lot. I usually watch for pedestrians. I suspect blind people pay better attention or have dogs who have, you know SEEING EYES? I suspect the car being quiet would be a problem if the driver was blind...
If all governments offered free vasectomies and free tubal ligations and reliable birth control and free abortions, things would be a bit rosier, no?
...call the Waaaaaaaahmbulance for JK. This pissy little suit can only cost her. She loves her fans, but if they make money (or break even), she's a pit bull. Not nice. Fans will find someone else to love. Even the "Star Trek" franchise allowed room for ubergeeks to write compendia and analyses of the show.
Do you think your pappy's the only person who votes a straight ticket or who throws darts or flips a coin or voted for the incumbent because, to do otherwise, is "unpatriotic"?
Let the man vote. He's just as qualified as the rest of us to flip a coin, take a guess, vote for the one who has Jesus on speed dial, vote for the one who doesn't hate broccoli, make a sine curve on the punch card like they did in the SATs, vote for Buchanan instead of Gore because of how the ballot was designed, press YES on the thing you meant to press NO on, vote the way your husband voted, or even actually READ the material and understand it.
Funny thing is, I would not be surprised if he's just yanking your chain really hard. I can see him chatting with his homies and saying, "I just love telling Junior I'm voting straight Libertarian this year. He turns red as a beet every time!"
One word as to why this product is awesome?
HIKING!
I'd bet you'd pay folding money to do a motorboat in Merkel's rack.
If we can be treated to that photo of Dick Cheney aka "Vice President Tight Pants" eating ice cream with a clear Unitary Bulge on display, we can certainly deal with Andrea Merkel's Wagnerian ta-tas.
He's been there, done that, and gotten the tee-shirt. Any other postings here (including mine) pale in comparison. Take the man's advice.
